Visual Studio Error List Default Sort

is there a way to force the default sort to sort differently. I'd like it to sort by category so my errors are ahead of my warnings, but i can't find a way to do this. When I set the sort order to category, when i hit build selection, it resets. Interestingly enough, build solution keeps the sort order. Only build selection resets it

In Visual Studio 2015, if the errors are sorted by a certain column, just click that column heading again once or twice until the arrow disappears to go back to default sorting. You can sort by Severity (errors or warnings) by clicking the column heading over the column that has red and yellow icons for errors and warnings.

Right Click anywhere on the Error List, [Sort By >], [Default Order]

If you look at this page, it tells us that the "Default Order" column "Displays an integer indicating the order in which an entry was generated."

It seems like you're stuck with it that way.
